Chu Yu turned her head to look at Jin Ruoxi, feeling inexplicably annoyed. Suddenly, she didn't want to pay any attention to Jin Ruoxi. Perhaps if she had ignored Jin Ruoxi, there wouldn't be so many tragedies!

Lan Ziye slept very comfortably, as if she was back to three thousand years ago lying on the spirit stone mine, able to absorb spiritual energy and practice to her heart's content. She even felt that the realm that had been stagnant for a long time was about to break through again!

Lan Ziye opened his eyes reluctantly, and what caught his eye was a perfectly contoured, knife-cut white chin.

Lan Ziye blinked twice in a daze, then suddenly realized something. He quickly sat up and asked in astonishment, "Why am I here?"

After he finished speaking, Lan Ziye knocked his head again and said in frustration, "I remember now. It was you who said we should come sit in the woods, but how did I fall asleep?"

"It's okay, it's still dark!" Chu Xixuan pointed to the sky, which had just begun to turn pale. "The second stage hasn't started yet!"

Lan Ziye was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Chu Xixuan's thigh and said, "Why am I sleeping on your legs?" To be more specific, he was sleeping on Chu Xixuan's legs.

"Maybe you felt uncomfortable leaning against the tree, so you came over here!" Chu Xixuan said calmly.

The look was as if it was saying that the weather was very good today.

Lan Ziye frowned and said, "Even if I got hurt myself, you can still push me away! Don't you know that physical contact between men and women is forbidden?"

Chu Xixuan raised the corner of his mouth and continued calmly: "You have already leaned over and rested your head on my legs. If I push you away again, wouldn't that be like trying to cover up one's own faults?"

Lan Ziye: ...Okay! There's nothing wrong with that!

Lan Ziye glanced behind her and was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth wide and asked in disbelief, "Are these all for me?" She clearly remembered that she only took out one spiritual energy generator. What happened to this pile of discarded spiritual energy generators?

"You are practicing!" Chu Xixuan said seriously.

Lan Ziye: ...She knows she's practicing! (ー_ー)!!

"I saw your spiritual energy generator was already smoking, so I supported you again!" Chu Xixuan said lightly, "Then..."

"Then yours started smoking too, so you took out another one, and one after another, and it became like this now?" Lan Ziye was speechless. She asked with a bitter face, "Then can you tell me how much these spiritual energy generators cost?"

She needs to see if she has enough money to pay the bill. If not, maybe Lan Rongrong and Zhu Ning can support her a little! ⊙︿⊙

"This wasn't bought by you and me. I did it voluntarily, so I don't want any money!" Chu Xixuan said lightly.

After a pause, Chu Xixuan added, "I don't like forced buying and selling!"

Lan Ziye's face looked even uglier. It seemed that doing good deeds was really not Chu Xixuan's style.

Lan Ziye thought for a moment and said, "I think you should just quote a price!" Money is easy to pay back, but favors are not so easy to repay!

It’s even harder to repay Chu Xixuan’s favor!

Chu Xixuan moved his legs, which had become numb from Lan Ziye's pillow, and stood up, saying, "Okay, we should go back!"

Lan Ziye: "Really? No money?"

Chu Xixuan's face darkened: "Do you think I would take this little thing seriously?"

Lan Ziye: ...Alright! You, Master Chu, are so rich and powerful, I was just judging you by my own standards!

Lan Ziye sighed and followed Chu Xixuan out of the woods.

At this time, the dean of studies was so anxious that his mouth was almost foaming. You know, if Young Master Chu didn't come, he wouldn't have the courage to announce the start of the second stage.
